We enjoyed our stay at Orange Crush Cottage. This budget-friendly, centrally-located house was cute and had all the basics we needed. Our dogs enjoyed the fenced-in backyard. When we had to arrive a day late due to an emergency car repair, the host checked on us since we hadn't shown up when we were supposed to and worked with us to add an extra day to the end of our rental period.

Great house and location

The house was great. The fenced in yard was a nice addition for the dog. Lack of lighting in the backyard was a pain but we managed with our phone flashlights. Something to note that we didn’t realize is that the front porch light is motion activated only so it was rather dark at night. Management was very prompt with responding to the few hiccups we had our first night. Overall, we would absolutely stay here again.
